One man’s uncontrollable weakness impacts on the lives of many as power
and wealth are used to cover up and suppress the fight for truth and
justice.
SYNOPSIS:
Adrian Chivers, the future of a bright new America, hides an intolerable
weakness which threatens to derail his rise up the political ladder.
Ben Brown is the unassuming Chicago constituent that will ensure that
doesn’t happen, although he doesn’t know that. Through an abuse of
position and influence Ben is sent to serve Adrian’s sentence, for the
greater good.
Evidence of Adrian’s transgressions are soon apparent as parents are
bought off so not to de-stabilise the growing popularity of the newest
player in the political den. Fast forward 18 months and Adrian is
pushing on with his campaign to become governor, much to the displeasure
of journalist Jeff Steer who covered the original accusations.
Having advanced with his own career he now believes he has enough
evidence to reveal Adrian for the kind of man he really is. With the
meeting set up, Jeff pays the ultimate price for his discoveries,
setting forward a chain of events in order to deflect all eyes from the
future governor.
Having volunteered as an identity parade dupe, Ben Brown provides the
perfect patsy for Adrian and his aide to wash their hands of any
wrongdoing, and come down hard on such offenders. With little family,
Ben relies on his sister, Alex, to fight on his behalf when no one else
is willing to do so. As Ben adapts to prison life, Adrian pushes on with
the campaign without reckoning on the determination a sibling bond can
provide.
As information of Adrian’s character comes to light, so his blind
ambition pushes him into abusing his influence further, both within the
prison system and the need to silence Alex Brown. With the race for
election and truth running side by side, there can only be one winner.
This is an insanely vague Logline.
His power and wealth? Is he a Politician? A Bureaucrat?
Uncontrollable weakness - as in drug addiction? Lack of ethics?
